This patent describes a valve actuating device of an internal combustion engine, including intake rocker arms disposed between parallel-arranged intake valves and an intake cam shaft adapted to drive and open the intake valves, and exhaust rocker arms disposed between exhaust valves opposed to the intake valves and an exhaust cam shaft adapted to drive and open the exhaust valves. The intake and exhaust rocker arms are pivoted at base ends thereof to a cylinder head of the engine in a freely oscillating manner, respectively, wherein a guide plate is fixed to the cylinder head at a position between adjacent two of the intake rocker arms and two of the exhaust rocker arms opposed to the two intake rocker arms, the guide plate being provided with guide grooves with which the four intake and exhaust rocker arms engage at tip ends thereof in a manner slidable only in an opening and closing direction of the valves.
